The article by John Werner on Forbes discusses the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of fictional and historical characters. It explores how AI ethics can be understood by examining the behaviors and decisions of characters like Marie Curie, who faced ethical dilemmas in her scientific work; Lord Voldemort, whose actions reflect the potential for AI to be used for malevolent purposes; and Sheldon Cooper, whose logical yet often socially disconnected approach mirrors the challenges AI faces in understanding human ethics.
